    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am buying a pair of ATB's from Ben. I have seen alot of his adds but have never delt with him before, just looking for some input on him. Thanks
 
Vince,

Rob is right. But anyways I will use the opportunity to say that I bought some ball pythons from Ben and they were really outstanding. In my opinion you can't go wrong buying from him.

Regards.
 
Ben is a great guy to deal with. I bought a pair of Irian Jayas years ago from him. We had some great talks on the phone, will answer any questions you have, packaged very well, etc.

I would not hessitate in buying form him again.

Enjoy the new critters!
 
Thanks for the info. I looked back through all the recent posts, but was not sure how to search the archives. I thought that he was a good guy to deal with but as we all know you can never be to careful.
 
Forget the search.... I've bought so many animals from Ben over the last 6 years, that I'm probably responsible for buying his first house!!.... I'm not going to say that everything has gone 100%, there have been MINOR problems along the way, but every one of them has been resolved in a professional and friendly manner.... we have never had a major problem of any kind.... you shouldn't hesitate.... it will all be good....

Ben & Stacey, GREAT

Ditto what Neil said. Ben is tops in my book not only because of the quality of his animals but because of the way he handles problems if they do occur. You can definitely purchase from Ben Siegel with confidence.

Doing a search on Ben, I believe there were seven threads with his name, with close to 200 combined replies. Not even one complaint but all praises among those 200. It has to be some sort of a record. The fact that not even one unsatisfied customer posted ever in the BOI about him speaks volumes about his business ethics.

Buy with your eyes closed! :)
 
I did a trade with Ben Siegel all went well. The animals that came in were in great health and are still doing good to this day. I would not hesitate to do business with him again.
 
Great Service!

I needed a ten lot of Colombians shipped fast to satisfy a customer. I called Ben in the afternoon and they were at my doorstep the next day. I was pretty elated because it was in the teens temperature wise here but they all made it fine due to his fine packing job. One can't ask for better service than that. I've also bought a few times before from Ben with no problems and I'll certainly be back for more animals in the future.
 
I have purchased several animals from Ben all of them was as he stated or even better A++++++ to deal with. By the way Greg your HOGG ISLAND will be on the way Monday. Finally not zero outside next week
 
I'm pretty sure I already made a post about my A+ experience with Ben, but the rubber boa I bought from him was one awesome snake, great eater and healthy to boot-until it escaped due to me leaving the top of his cage cracked open :) I'd buy from Ben again if I had space!

Vincent,

Hello. You are absolutely right on both accounts. You can never be to careful and Ben is a good guy to deal with. I purchased three snakes from him this week and couldn't be happier with them.

Good luck & God bless,

WoW Is all I can say I dont think I have ever seen such an outpouring of positive feedback for one person before. Between what I have read here and all the other positive feedback I have now found from previous treads this man must be a saint!!! You have all taken away any doubt I might have had before. Thank You all for the feedback I will make another post when I recieve the animals to let you all know how they are doing.
 
Ben=ownz. Nough Saids. Also in ATB's: John Camp(could write a book of accolades on this guy) and Danny Mendez from Urbanjungles.com, and Matt Lereh from GHI Reptiles.
 
I recieved the ATB's today

Ben called me 3 days in advance to let me know the weather would be good for shipping on Thursday. They came today at 10:15 am right on schedule. The were packed well and had 2 nice big heats packs(its 8:30 pm now and they are still warm). They were everything I expected, only the larger one is a little darker than I expected (probably from the flash on the camera when he took the picture). They both seem very healthy and alert. They both settled in to there new homes nicely and each just took a fussy and hopper respectively. This deal went off without a hitch and Ben kept in contact with me the whole time to let me know what was going on. Thank you guys for the info and thanks to Ben for the great pair of Orange ATB's.
 
Just wanted to add my experience to the couple hundred others already shared. My brother in law and I ordered 4 chondros from Ben earlier this month. In shipping one of them died. I called Ben from the Delta counter, it was 12:30 am his time, and left a message to let him know. Minutes later he called me back to find out what was going on. We are filing a claim with Delta, we think they put the snakes in the wrong compartment and it got too cold. While we expect Delta to reimburse the cost of the snake, Ben has said that if they don't, he will make it right, even though the snake was well packed with what should have been enough heat. It doesn't get any better than that.

I have gotten over a hundred animals from Ben.
He has also gotten a good number of my animals as well.

The guy is so easy to deal with.

I look forward to having a long and mutually fruitful relationship with Ben and Stacey.
 
I'll chime in. I have bought several animals from Ben and always been happy.

I am looking forward to seeing his shop in person in a couple of weeks when I go to FL (Deerfield beach).
